• "This is our second stay in this cottage."

  It is really lovely. Great space. Very clean and well kept. Quiet but convenient. Good shops not far away. If you are interested in D H Lawrence there is a museum only a short walk away

• "This is a lovely spacious well maintained holiday home in a very convenient location."

  The owners were helpful and available if needed. The only disappointment was that you could not admire the view to the garden and beyond from the lounge as there were no windows on that side. I cannot imagine that the owners would have missed such an opportunity to have windows facing the view. I suspect, therefor, that they were not permitted to do so by the planning authority when the conversion was done.

  Many thanks for your feedback and apologies for not responding sooner, it was an oversight on my part! The Dairy is a barn conversion situated inside a courtyard and part of Grade 11 listed buildings, so yes, you are quite correct, sadly we were only allowed to use existing door and window openings. Thank you for you kind comments. Property Owner

  The garden overlooks a large field that was awash with beautiful wild flowers. Providing a lovely setting for evening drinks.

• "The property owner was lovely and very friendly and helpful."

  She made us very welcome. The only advice I would give is to remove most of the china ornaments if letting to families.

  Thank you for your kind feedback which is very much appreciated. I usually leave it to the parents discretion to remove anything they think may get broken but thank you for your advice. Property Owner

  Everything was perfect. The greeting when we arrived, the welcome gifts in the kitchen, the comfortable (extremely) chairs, the warmth and hot water, the bedrooms and beds, and the space!

  It is spacious, imaculate, well equipped and beautifully furnished. Gill, the owner, ensures those visiting her delightful Grade 2 farm conversion are welcome and comfortable for their holiday. (Of course, the welcome bottle of wine and other items to enjoy help) The Dairy is set in beautiful surroundings with many places of interest nearby and worth visiting.

  Spotlessly clean and perfectly presented. Gill was lovely, very responsive before we arrived and very welcoming. The property is warm, quiet and comfortable, well equipped and has lovely views. Eastwood has a surprisingly good range of restaurants and pubs within east walking distance. Particularly recommend the Gamekeeper if you like real ale.

• "We had a lovely stay at the Dairy."

  It suited our needs perfectly. We stayed here with my in laws whilst we attended a wedding nearby. The property was immaculately clean and there was lots of space, so we didn’t feel like we were encroaching on one another. It was very well equipped, having a travel cot, highchair, bath mats etc really helped with the little ones. Gill was a wonderful host and made our stay very comfortable. I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you very much for having us.

  The photos do not do it justice - it is so spacious, clean and beautifully presented. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. As 6 adults, we all commented on how much space we had and what good value it was. It was great that all rooms had an ensuite. Gill was a fantastic host and kept in contact throughout. It is located within easy walking distance of pubs, restaurants and tea rooms. Would 100% recommend.

• "What a fabulous cottage the Dairy is."

  The host, Gill, was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, even leaving us a welcome basket. The cottage itself is enormous and spotlessly clean. The cupboards contain everything you will ever need on holiday and there are so many lovely touches to the property, it feels like being in a very tidy, comfortable home. The property is set behind shared automatic gates that gives you that extra security for your vehicle and is easy to find. There isn't any internet, that might put some off but I was able to access it via my phone so was no trouble for me. There are really no words to explain just how fabulous this place is and although I have stayed in loads of cottages over the years, this, without a doubt, is the very best. Thank you.

• "This is an extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage, absolutely lovely to come back to after a day out."

  The owner (next door) was extremely helpful, nothing too much trouble. It is also an excellent centre to explore both Nottinghamshire and parts of the Peak District. Most places are now open despite coronavirus, but some need booking in advance. We had days out at Southwell, Newstead Abbey, Sherwood Forest, Bolsover Castle, Peak District, and the excellent Framework Knitters Museum in Ruddington. We would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely cottage.
